   Kat Von D shows off a diamond ring, generating talk of a possible engagement to Jesse James

One year ago, Jesse James was hitting the awards circuit, accompanying then-wife Sandra Bullock on what was the ride of her life, as she picked up the biggest awards of her career. Now, he may be getting ready to walk down the aisle with Kat Von D.

Before the Golden Globes 2011, which took place last night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, there were tons of other parties in what has come to be known as “the Golden Globes weekend.”

One such event was the Art of Elysium charity gala, where guests also included Jesse James and his latest lady love, celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D.

He wore black, while Kat went for one of her now-favorite bondage dresses with electric blue pumps – but it was the sparkler on her engagement finger that got all the people talking, the Daily Mail also points out.

Right there, on her finger, was a silver and diamond ring that looked suspiciously like an engagement ring – and that Kat made sure it was photographed accordingly, keeping the hand in plains sight for most of the pictures on the red carpet.

“Now, the West Coast Choppers star looks equally as smitten with his new girlfriend, tattoo artist and reality star Kat Von D,” the Mail writes.

“So smitten, in fact, that the pair are fuelling speculation they are engaged, with Kat flashing a diamond and silver ring on her engagement finger at last night’s Art of Elysium charity gala in Los Angeles,” says the British tab.

“The couple, who have been dating since last August, couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they posed for photographs,” the Mail adds.

There is no denying that they’re in love, as their most recent tweets will also confirm, with Jesse saying 48 hours away from Kat feel like an eternity, and she replying with warm thanks that he’s her best friend before anything else.

As for the possibility that they’re engaged, so far, no word from either of them. However, this would not be the first time that word gets out that they’re that serious about their romance.
